AVAILABILITY OF NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATIVE RESEARCH (SBIR) AND SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER RESEARCH (STTR) PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES RELEASE DATE: April 4, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-CA-03-019 National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www.nci.nih.gov) The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is a set-aside program (2.5% of an agency's extramural budget) for domestic small business concerns to engage in Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) that has the potential for commercialization. The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program also supports the participation of small businesses in Federal Research and Development with an additional requirement for a formal collaboration with the research institution in Phase I and II. The President's budget proposal for the National Institutes of Health would increase the set aside for the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program from 0.15 to 0.3 % of the total NIH extramural research and development base in fiscal year 2004. The STTR program requires that 30-60% of the work be performed by the non-profit research institution and the Principal Investigator be an employee of either the small business or the academic research institution. The program is designed to stimulate technological innovation and encourage partnerships between research institutions and small businesses. In addition to the Omnibus Solicitation for SBIR and STTR applications available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/sbirsttr1/index.pdf, the National Cancer Institute has a number of Program Announcements (PA) for fiscal year 2004. Potential applicants are encouraged to think about the many uses of this mechanism as it may apply to innovative cancer research projects. The PAs listed below indicate NCI staff contacts and can be accessed through the NIH Guide (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html): PAR-01-105 Innovative Technologies for the Molecular Analysis of Cancer: SBIR/STTR PAR-01-107 Applications of Innovative Technologies for Molecular Analysis of Cancer: SBIR/STTR PA-02-075 Innovative Toxicology Models: SBIR / STTR PA-02-108 Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins: SBIR/ STTR Announcement PA-02-125 Bioengineering Nanotechnology Initiative: SBIR/STTR PA-03-013 Small Business Grants for Identifying Molecular Signatures of Cancer PAR-03-074 Flexible System to Advance Innovative Research for Cancer Drug Discovery by Small Businesses (FLAIR) SBIR/STTR
